Ghana is a victim of NDC led policy of create, loot and share thievery. Does Wampah remember what he said about ensuring that Ghana got value for money, during the loot of Merchant bank? Yes, Ghana is a true victim of the Mahama led NDC gov't successful looting of the contents of the national kitty leaving the bare bones, which has collapsed the country.

What is this man talking about success? Why is it that we always see our solution as BORROWING? When shall we learn to be innovative using own abundance of resources to create wealth? Instead of stealing the contry's money, why can't the government partner with private Business people to invest in the old and abandon factories in Ghana. Here are some examples, Komenda Sugar Factor, Kade Match Factory, Kade Rubber Factory, Shoe Factory, Jute Factory, Tata, Matress Factory and many of such. Think about the economic activities this kind of investment will generate and the jobs to be created for the youth. Obama invested in the Auto industry in America when they were at the point of failing. Now it's paid off for them. THINK GHANA FIRST !!!

THIS GUY FAILS TO MENTION CORRUPTION, DEBT SETTLEMENTS, AND OTHER SOCI-ECONOMIC EVILS PERPETUATED BY PARTISAN POLITICIANS.
SO WHAT, IF YOU HAVE GRADUATED, GET OFF THE LOANS AND MANAGE YOUR OWN AFFAIRS. IF YOU PLUGGED ALL THE THE CORRUPT PRACTICES AND MANAGED THE ECONOMY BY PROVIDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND PROSECUTING ENEMIES OF PROGRESS, HE WOULD STOP GIVING FLIMSY STUPID EXCUSES
WHY DID HE INSTITUTE STUPID FOREX POLICIES ONYL TO REVERSE THEM MONTHS LATER. IDIOT....BOG DOES NOT PROVIDE MONIES TO COMMERCIAL BANKS FOR BUSINESS. PEOPLE DO AND ONCE PEOPLE STARTED OPENING ACCOUNTS IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES, HE REALIZED HIS STUPIDITY AND REVERSED HIS PLOICIES

Ghanaian. What success? If you consider crawling out of the shithole to the edge of the shithole a success.
This is exactly the problem putting square pegs in round holes. If man in no more qualified to run the bank of ghana than the trotro driver. Part of the hippo generation destroying the future of young Ghanaians.

The Bank of Ghana (BOG) has no Eastern Regional headoffice. I don´t believe that the BOG has accurate data of the economic activity in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half the population on the region. The GDP and GNI of these Akyem districts are very high. They stem from:

Gold mining
Diamond mining
Cocoa
Oil Palm (the largest in West Africa)
Timber
Software development
etc

The money supply and capital in the at least 12 Akyem districts are wholly inadequate. BOG must remove impediments to the setting up of rural banks in these districts and encourage ADB and GCB to open branches in these districts.

The government must further ensure that wholly owned Ghanaian banks, including rural banks, get at least 80% of the banking revenue.
